My major is Communication Studies with a minor in Sociology/Anthropology. I’m currently a junior at Pace University and expect to graduate in May 2015. The best thing about being a Communication Studies major is that the professors in this department prepare their students in every arena of personal, public, and professional communication. It’s a great major for students who have multiple interests and talents. I also was really impressed with what Pace offers its students. Pace is known for their excellent Career Services department and I personally received a lot of support/mentorship while applying for internships in my major.

I am a Communication Studies Major and expect to graduate in 2016. I chose Pace to pursue this major because I love the dynamic and well-rounded Communications program that Pace offers. The curriculum includes everything from examinations of pop culture and the dynamics of human communication to journalism and public relations. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is looking to get the most out of their time in college while enjoying a dynamic learning experience. My favorite thing about being a Communications Major is that there is something in the program that will interest just about anyone and there are so many organizations on campus that can help Communications majors gain experience in their field. For example, I am currently an intern for The Pace Press and a writing tutor for The Writing Center on the NYC campus. POP TV and WPUB are two other organizations that are beneficial to Communications majors. My goals for the future are to work for a public relations firm and write for The New York Times while using the skills I have gained through Pace's awesome Communications program to help and benefit others.
